Editorial Reviews
Jeannette Clift George, actress, author, and national speaker
What a joy to read a how-to book that really addresses the how-to. Carol Kent has systematically covered the details that have made her an outstanding speaker. I am delighted to recommend this book to the throngs of people who yearn to speak up with confidence.
Luci Swindoll, author and speaker
Based on her years of experience, Carol Kent has given us a book of rich insight and practical advice about public speaking. If you plan to teach a group of five or 50,000, read this book. These principles really work.

Packed With Knowledge!, May 7, 2004
Reviewer: Rolf Dobelli (Luzern Switzerland)
Jack Valenti's updated edition of this classic instructional text on public speaking includes all the name dropping and funny anecdotes you would expect from a man who spent his career behind the scenes in Washington, D.C., and Hollywood. Insisting that anyone can be an effective public speaker - and he clearly has heard the best and the worst - Valenti's watch word is "preparation." Although his writing is a bit repetitious and florid, and the information is basic, the book does what it promises: coaches the reader through the difficulties and details of composing and delivering an effective public presentation. If you drone on at a lectern while staring down at reams of notes, speak longer than your allotted time, have nightmares about the speech you gave that went wrong, count on momentary inspiration to carry you through important moments in the spotlight or don't know the first thing about giving a speech, we prescribe this book for your condition.
